The Formula 1 paddock at the Interlagos circuit delivered a deeply emotional moment inside the Red Bull Racing garage. Amidst the intense competitive atmosphere of the weekend, four-time world champion Max Verstappen offered a classy tribute by gifting one of his race helmets to his trusted senior mechanic, Ole Schack.
This Brazilian Grand Prix marks the final race for Schack after dedicating 20 years of stellar service to the Milton Keynes-based squad. Having served as Verstappen's number two mechanic, Schack has been an integral part of the team's relentless pursuit of perfection across two decades of triumphs and trials.
Rather than jumping ship to a rival competitor, Schack has chosen to walk away from the pinnacle of motorsport simply to prioritize family life after spending countless years traveling the globe. Reflecting on his departure, he shared heartfelt thoughts about his time with the team and his desire to reconnect with loved ones back home.

Schack also opened up about the unique intensity and relaxed demeanor of his star driver away from the pressure cooker of the pit lane, highlighting the astonishing shift in focus when the crucial moments of qualifying arrive on Saturday afternoons.
According to reports from Crash.net, Verstappen was equally vocal in his praise, describing his departing crew member as an exemplary professional whose passion and tireless commitment have left an indelible mark on the entire organization.
"He's unbelievable. If I speak about a mechanic and how I want him to be, I think it's him. A very good mechanic, very passionate, always taking care of the car," Verstappen stated, acknowledging the massive sacrifice made over a remarkable career.
